International Crises and China's Technonationalist Strategies: Chiang Kai‐Shek's Prewar S&T Planning versus Xi Jinping's Amid US‐PRC Rivalry
In China's search for modernization since the early twentieth century, international contingencies have served as the systemic catalyst that fostered the Chinese statist economic planning and aspirations in scientific and technological (S&T) advancement. This points to an “outside‐in” trajectory. This paper examines two pivotal junctures of imminent national security challenges confronting China: (1) the Kuomintang (KMT) of the 1930s as Chiang Ka…
China's Leninist State and strategic relations with the United States: Chiang's KMT in Nanjing Decade and implications for the Chinese Communist Party after 1949
This article revisits Chiang Kai‐shek's Kuomintang (KMT) party‐state during the Nanjing Decade (1927–37) of the Republic of China (ROC) and assesses how the actions and ideological propensities of the Nationalist regime affected prewar China's external relations with the United States. While both the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were constituted as Leninist parties in the 1920s, due to the Soviet Union's military and economic aid for…
US-China-Taiwan in the Age of Trump and Biden: Towards a Nationalist Strategy
This book explores U.S.-Taiwan-China relations during both the Trump and Biden administrations, revealing how policy changes under both presidents have impacted Washington’s decades-long strategic policy framework for Cross-Strait Relations. By tracing the continuities and changes of U.S. Strategic ambiguity and One-China Policy framework between the Trump and Biden administrations, the book assesses how the foreign policy prism, through which U.…
US-China-Taiwan in the Age of Trump and Biden: Towards a Nationalist Strategy
The End of Liberal Engagement with China and the New US–Taiwan Focus
Using neoclassical realist theory, this paper focuses on how the liberal logic underpinning the US engagement policy with the People's Republic of China (PRC) – to promote the PRC's greater marketization, internationalization, political opening, and even democratization – has shaped Washington's One‐China/strategic ambiguity policy since 1972. This approach is used to deal carefully with the Taiwan Strait impasse. However, as strategic competitio…
The Trump Administration’s One‐China Policy: Tilting toward Taiwan in an Era of U.S.‐PRC Rivalry
Since 1979, while U.S. congressional members have consistently tried to stepup support for Taiwan, American presidents, irrespective of Republicans or Democrats, have acted circumspectly to follow the U.S. One‐China policy, lest more obtrusive backing of the island would heighten Chinese nationalism and damage Sino‐American relationship. The Donald Trump administration’s greater tilt toward Taipei suggests a growing convergence between the execut…
US-China Rivalry and Taiwan's Mainland Policy
Liberal Internationalism, Jacksonian Nationalism, and the US One China Policy
This article examines how Wilsonian foreign policy tradition has shaped the postwar US One China policy, and how Jacksonianism, championed by the Donald Trump administration, challenges that vision. Embracing militant nationalism, commercial mercantilism, and unilateralist diplomacy, Trump’s commitment to “One China” will more likely be conditional on Sino–American transactional interchanges
US–China Rivalry and the Weakening of the KMT’s “1992 Consensus” Policy
The PRC’s increasingly assertive foreign policy behaviors have triggered heightened anxiety among its regional neighbors. Washington has abided by a long-standing strategic ambiguity policy to manage the Taiwan Strait impasse. However, as the KMT’s “1992 consensus” policy places Taiwan in close union with Beijing, Taipei’s security positions sometimes go against the interests of the US and its allies in the Asia-Pacific. Pulling Taiwan away from …
Constructing Peaceful Development: The Changing Interpretations of “One China” and Beijing’s Taiwan Strait Policy
For rationalists, China (PRC)’s current conciliatory policy toward Taiwan is merely “calculative.” Hence, Chinese leaders must act patiently with Taiwan to dampen the “China threat theory.” This article contends that strategic considerations cannot entirely justify Beijing’s Taiwan policy. Given the PRC’s steadfast position on reunification, it is unclear why Beijing has, since the 1990s, allowed for a looser construction of the “one China” princ…
